10'
BAZUNU CLAIMS
The game becomes a bit end-to-end, but no real chances of note in that spell. Already signs of a lack of sharpness from both teams, as some passes in midfield are going astray.
Son is played in down the right wing, but his cross is caught by Bazunu fairly easily.
5'
SPURS COME FORWARD
Spurs have their first corner and it is also the first corner of the game. Son's ball in is initially cleared, but the it then falls to Kane down the left flank. The forwards tries to put in a teasing ball into the box, but there is not enough on it, and Bazunu comfortably holds in the Southampton goal.

WIDE!
Ward-Prowse whips the ball in towards the back post, but Salisu can only glance it wide with a header.
3'
FREE-KICK
Walker-Peters is tripped by Davies on the near side touchline on the right before he is about to whip in a cross.
Ward-Prowse stands over it.

SOUTHAMPTON LOOKING FOR IMPROVEMENT THIS CAMPAIGN
As for Saints, the fans will certainly be looking to kick on this season, with much pressure on Ralph Hasenhuttl to deliver.
After a 15th place finish last term - a campaign which saw them win just nine league games in total - progress is expected. And with some exciting new signings through the door such as Joe Aribo, Romeo Lavia and Armel Bella-Kotchap, there is optimism in the air.

NO WINS IN TWO AGAINST SAINTS FOR SPURS
For Tottenham, they did not have it all their own way against Southampton last season in the Premier League.
They failed to record a win over the Saints last term, drawing 1-1 at St. Mary's in December, and losing 3-2 at home in February.
